Victoria
Olo is Victoria's quintessential farm-to-table restaurant and it ploughs a deep furrow. The 'locally grown' mantra is taken seriously here with small artistic dishes painted with creative brushstrokes. Browse a menu punctuated with ingredients like kelp, chickweed and huckleberry sauce brought in to embellish duck, pork and lingcod. For a full rustic sample, the three-course tasting menu ($52) works best.
Reservations recommended.
